Makes about 10 cookies
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Decoration: 20 minutes
1 heart shaped cookie cutter
1 cookie sheet
brown paper bag
1 pastry wheel (or I pair of scissors)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons very cold salted butter, chopped into small pieces
3/8 cup of sugar
2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
cocoa powder to decorate
Preheat oven to 300 F
Using your fingers or a food processor, work together all the ingredients until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Knead for 1 minute on a cold, lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin and cut into heart shapes. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden on top.
Cut out paper stencils for various messages (such as "Love" or someone's name), place on top of the cookies, and sprinkle with the cocoa powder.
